MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE BIG UP:

The Big Up is a three-day music, arts, and culture festival in Ghent, NY. The Big Up leverages premier live music entertainment to create an environment that also showcases visionary arts and artists who emphasize innovation, collaboration, participatory education, and sustainable practices. Hosted at the legendary festival grounds Sunnyview Farm in Ghent, New York, The Big Up presents a new paradigm for East Coast festival culture due to its unique synthesis of musical entertainment, interactive art, sustainable initiatives and the venue's intimate natural setting. Sunnyview Farm’s 1500 acres of breathtaking views provide a one-of-a-kind destination for The Big Up, with wooded camping, five unique performance stages, an on site farmer’s market and local vending, large-scale multimedia installations, and workshops dedicated to hands-on sustainable skills and collaborative art.  In years to come, these festival grounds (larger than Bonnaroo’s) have potential for explosive growth, but  The Big Up is a carefully crafted event designed to begin the sustainable growth and branding of the festival and festival grounds alike.
 
ACCOLADES FOR THE BIG UP 2010:

There aren’t too many first year festival success stories. Lets be real- music festival production is no walk in the lot. It usually takes years in the hole, and serious time spent learning from mistakes, to create a sustainable, reciprocal environment for festival-goers. It seems to be becoming more and more difficult to find a safe and welcoming venue for these important gatherings of artists, musicians and the creative counterculture. I guess having thousands of folks getting rowdy, raging around the clock and bumping beats into the stratosphere isn’t for everybody. Luckily, for East Coast natives and heads from all over, The Big Up Festival held it down.- www.lostinsound.org
 

The Big Up delivered just about everywhere you’d want a festival to deliver. The people were great, those in the crowd, as well as, the staff, the weather was perfect, the line-up delivered in every sense of the word, perfectly balanced and tons of talent, great food, and a flawless campsite. Unless something incredibly unfortunate happens, this will be one which will continue to grow for years to come! – www.musicmauraders.com

With an exclusive new line-up and the best new festival grounds on the circuit, The Big Up just got a whole lot Bigger! Hosted at the legendary festival grounds of Sunnyview Farm, which is quickly emerging as the Northeast venue for exclusive small festivals and concerts, The Big Up presents a new paradigm for East Coast festival culture because of its unique synthesis of musical entertainment, interactive art and sustainable initiatives in a pristine natural setting. Sunnyview Farm’s 1500 acres of breathtaking views provide a one-of-a-kind venue featuring field and woods camping, four stages with no overlapping sets, an onsite farmer’s market, large-scale multimedia installations, and workshops dedicated to hands-on sustainable skills and collaborative art. – www.theuntz.com

The Big Up was very impressive.  A great staff, a perfect festival site, and amazing production all came together to feature amazing talent performing at their highest levels.  I would not hesitate for a second to go to any event that Shire Works was putting on, knowing that next year’s Big Up is going to be Bigger and Upper.- www.livemusicnewsandreview.com

From here on out Sunny View Farm will be known as one of the illest music and art venues in the Northeast…. and The Big Up definitely took it to new heights. They not only one-upped the other two events they produced, they quadrupled it. And I’m not just talking about the number of people but the set up of the venue itself. Everything was bigger. The Big Up had more camping, new stages including the main stage, they had GIANT multimedia screens with crazy images being projected on them all night, huge bonfires, live art, local vendors, chill ass people, and of course music. - http://treeshurts.wordpress.com

“If you like Camp Bisco, you will like The Big Up…I highly recommend going next year” –http://thisweekonlot.com (excerpted from TWOL: 39 “Hell U Ride” podcast)

The 10th annual four-day camping and music festival will be held on June 9 - 12 on the same beautiful 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, 60 miles south of Nashville. A full list of confirmed acts follows, and more will be announced in the coming weeks. The final Bonnaroo 2011 lineup will total over 125 bands and over 20 comedians performing on 13 stages over four days. Tickets for the event will go on sale on this Saturday, February 19, 2011 at 12noon eastern exclusively at bonnaroo.com.

The 2011 event marks the 10th year for the legendary festival, which began in 2002 as a remarkable idea to serve a passionate yet underappreciated and overlooked fanbase, and ended up becoming the premier multi-day concert destination of the summer whose dynamic and eclectic programming paved the way for the age of the great American music festival. This year's lineup is yet another fine example of the incomparable eclecticism for which Bonnaroo has become famous. Featured acts include: Eminem, Arcade Fire, Widespread Panic, The Black Keys, My Morning Jacket and Lil' Wayne, String Cheese Incident, Robert Plant & Band of Joy, Mumford & Sons, The Strokes, The Decemberists, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Florence + the Machine, Girl Talk, Primus, Big Boi, Gregg Allman, Robyn, Deerhunter, Sleigh Bells, Amos Lee, Opeth, Del McCoury and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Wanda Jackson, The Walkmen and an exclusive festival performance by Buffalo Springfield featuring Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Rick Rosas and Joe Vitale. This year's lineup will again cement Bonnaroo as a force in music discovery, exposing its fans to legendary artists, current favorites, as well as breaking acts.

As one of the special programming highlights of its 10th year, Bonnaroo is excited to announce a rare joint appearance by Dr. John and The Original Meters recreating, in its entirety, the legendary 1974 album Desitively Bonnaroo, the source of the festival's moniker. Another celebratory aspect to the programming, organizers have confirmed Eugene Hutz as the curator of this year's specialty venue, dubbed "Global Gypsy Punk Revue." Continuing Bonnaroo's tradition as a platform for historic collaborations, the festival is announcing the return of the SuperJam featuring Dr. John, the Black Key's Dan Auerbach and more to be announced soon.

 

As the only round-the-clock major U.S. music festival, Bonnaroo packs an unparalleled amount of entertainment options into its four days. The event has offered its attendees the amenities and community spirit of a small city, with 24 hours of activities including a comedy theater, cinema festival, broo'ers festival, silent disco, salon, sustainable gardening lessons, arcade, Internet cafes, restaurants, yoga classes and hundreds of high quality craft vendors. About the 2010 event, Rolling Stone hailed, "In its ninth year, Bonnaroo has done an impressive job of hanging on to its reputation as one of the most eclectic music and arts festivals," while the Wall Street Journal called it "one of rock's best festivals," and MTV claimed, "If you're angling for a road trip - there's no better destination." 

In celebration of Bonnaroo's 10th year and in recognition of the festival's iconic status, Ben & Jerry's will be making Bonnaroo Buzz available for purchase in pints in frozen foods freezers across the country as the company has selected it to be one of its prestigious flavors for 2011. Bonnaroo Buzz is the flavor Ben & Jerry's designed in 2010 specifically in honor of the festival. Until now, it was only available in Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops.
